WELCOME

We are a worshipping community across three churches who want to get to know and share Christ's love and joy in Almondbury and Farnley Tyas. 

Each of our congregations has a differing style of worship, and much is going on. There is something for everyone in our inclusive parish. 

​We welcome everyone at all stages of faith, including 'not sure'. We warmly invite you to join us!

OUR CHURCHES

St Michael and St Helen's
St Michael and St Helen's is a small church with a big heart, seeking to embody God's love and justice in action. It holds a weekly Food Share and is valued and used widely by its community through the week.

St Lucius', Farnley Tyas

OUR SERVICES

We offer a variety of worship within the parish. The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is at the heart of our worship and is celebrated in the parish each week. 

Evensong, a centuries-old service which brings together words and music, takes place at All Hallows' or St Lucius' on the first Sunday of the month at 6.30pm. It offers a chance to pause and reflect away from the noise and distractions of daily life.

Join us in praying for our local community and our world in Morning Prayer from Monday to Friday.

REFLECTIONS

Three days that changed the world

'All these meetings after the resurrection are human, but with a difference. They are love-filled moments that reveal what we as human beings can be and are destined to be. There is a gentleness and a humbleness in these very human meetings.' – Rev Jessica Malay considers the fruits of the Resurrection.
